Kids these days, such a sense of entitlement! Why, when I was a child we felt lucky to get acrylic crap. Our parents walked uphill through the snow to bring us acrylic crap that they ordered out of the Sears catalog . . .

Hey. That kid looks a LOT like one Miss Abigail. Sounds like her, too. Ok, maybe she isn't quite ready to comment on the acrylic v. wool debate, but she is already a girl who knows her mind. I can see this coming...

Franklin, you're something else! I read your blogs like taking a daily vitamin of joy, laughter, fun and your wonderful knitting projects are with much insipiration given by yourself. This cartoon is way cute! I feel like printing it up and handing it out at my local "chain craft stores" to women who stand there for much too long fondling the acrylic and ooohing and aahhhing over it. I confess I used to use it before I knew better...but like when you have your first taste of a REALLY good chocolate or authentic Mexican food - there's no turning back to the old candy from the drug store or the fast food Mexican - or the acrylic. The very best, wonderful, insanly out of the box Christmas wishes to you!

Hey, Franklin. This is only a rumour,but I heard that the Fibertarian candidate for president offered all the proceeds from your book to your governor so that he'd appoint her senator. You might want to check with whoever does your accounting to make sure nothing's been diverted.

I knew sooner or later children would discover the wonderful qualities of real fiber and protest the acrylics. Even my dachshunds can tell the difference. They prefer those afghans and sweaters from natural fibers every time they are allowed to choose!
